- Capt. James Patterson to Col. John Armstrong.
- Harris’s Ferry, March 27th, 1759
- ... I am in a low state of Health, by reason of the great hardship and fatigue that I underwent the last Campaign, but I am in hopes that I shall overcome it in time, but as the Doctor assures me that if I do not take good Care of myself I shall loose ye use of my Limbs, I am afraid I shall not be Capable for some time of going out upon a new Campaign, but should be willing to Continue in the service, if your Honor would think proper to have me Stationed at some Fort or Garrison until I Came to my full strength and the use of my Limbs; and as I am acquainted with the ways & Humours of our Indians, Humbly Conceive I could be of service to my Country if I was stationed at Augusta; all which I leave to your Honors most wise Consideration…. James Patterson.
- P.S— Yesterday I received an account from Augusta, that my Son was Come in there & has brought with him a lusty, able French prisoner, and that the Indians stood exceeding true & faithful to him. I expect him down as soon as he rested himself after his fatigue.
